The Dutch design duo Scholten & Baijings deconstructed the MINI One in their installation Colour One for MINI. They investigated and explored each component and aspect of the car, reinterpreting it based on their own visual language and style. The wheels were reinvented, the chassis was perforated and all the fabrics were hand made. The outcome is an idiosyncratic dissection of the vehicle by two leading contemporary designers. Stefan Scholten (1972) and Carole Baijings (1973) have collaborated since 2000. Their work is minimalist, richly detailed and evocative thanks to the handcrafted finish and the balanced yet distinctive colour palette. They collaborate with museums and produce commissioned work (including for HAY, 1616 / Arita Japan, Karimoku New Standard, Schönbuch, Pastoe and Established & Sons). Their work is exhibited in galleries and museums and sold worldwide.

The installation Colour One for MINI was exhibited for the first time in April 2012 during the Salone internazionale del Mobile in Milan.
